Curse

After just reading the previous post on that spammer, I ran a spyware and virus check. I run scans every 3 days andcan't say for sure if anything came from this site, or if I clicked any of those links. But I recieved 16 critical threats including 3 possible browser hijacks. (Not normal at all).
Thank goodness for Firefox, and the thrests were removed easy, but i suggest everyone do some scans just to be safe.

Thought I would pass this along to everyone

I didn't get any viruses from that, it was rather annoying though.

Thanks for that, I'll give the Adaware a go, see what it finds, on top of AVG

I ran McAfee AntiVirus and AdAware - other than the three tracking cookies that keep popping up for me on AdAware, nothing was found.

If you clicked on one of the links, you would know. From what other users are posting, I doubt this was anything other than someones pathetic attempt to amuse himself/herself.

I would still recomend all those that clicked it to scan however.

As a matter of fact, I would recomend regular scanning to everyone.

the only place i have picked up criticals is gwonline.

only now and then but i did a scan before going there to test and came back infested.

this was about a month ago and recent visits came back with minor tracking cookies of low threat value

i run spybot, nothing is detect,

i went to the temporary internet folder and found out that the sound file is just a swf (flash). i guess the window resizing is just some javascript.

I'm glad everyone seems to be OK, guess it may be some other site I have visited O_O.
But thought I would let everyone know my scan results, just incase.

Last Measure (the link you clicked) just crashes you, it doesn't install anything.

(Language warning)
For Future Reference.... always check what you're clicking first. Of course, I guess I can't blame you for not knowing that URL...

I have aboslutly no clue why you just posted that link, and what your post means.

He posted it so we would know what we clicked on and what it does. It was for your benifit. Also what he was saying was hover your mouse over the link to make the URL pop up. Once it does look at it and if you dont recognize the URL or it doesnt match up to what the link says don't click it.
